Impossibly high calcium

[newbiereefer1]

i am at a loss. I live in Florida which has very mineral rich water. This leaves me in a place that I am constantly fighting high calcium. Last measure I was in the low 600s. My water changes doesn’t bring down my calcium. I have a 180 and have changed about 60% in the last week with instant ocean reef crystals but no luck. Besides using distilled water, what is a girl to do? My other parameters are more or less what they are supposed to be. Thanks in advance for your help. My only idea is having to introduce a water softener into my water station

Thanks

What source water do you normally use for water changes, tap, ro, rodi, etc? What test kit are you using, and have you tested your source water before adding salt?
